Traders:

When you finally reach the level 20, I suggest you mostly do trader jobs. Get a horse when going from jangan to donwhang, because it's faster. Horses can't take as much goods as camels, but thats ok still in this point. You load your horse so it reaches the line between 1* and 2*, but still keep it 1* or else all player thiefs can kill you, and you get more NPC thiefs to kill you.



When you are still level 20-24, I suggest you take the blue marked road, because theres only lvl 20 chakjis which you should be able to handle, and devil bugs too in a crisis. When your 25+, you should be able to handle the red road. The red road is harder, because you go through hyugno homeland, with horrible lvl 23 monsters that "autoattack", and after hyugno homeland you can find lots of demon horses that atoattack you too (not fun) and last but not least, the earth ghost in front of the gate.
There might be earth ghosts in the blue road too, but much less, so they are highly avoidable + there are always many people at the south gate, so if you've got earth ghost "problems" I'm sure the kind high lvl people will smash it for you.

You sure ask now when you can start with the 2* trades? I'd say around 37-40, because many thiefs are around 40+, so if you are lvl 21 and do a 2* trade, the thiefs will smash you with one hit (happened to me, I'll never do 2* trades until 42 ).
And as a little tip - I suggest you don't do hotan trades until 40+
If you plan on doing 2* trades earlier, make sure you have around 4-5 lvl 40-50 hunters with you.

When you finally reach lvl 2+ trader, many people have wondered what to do. The thing that happens, has nothing to do with how much stuff fits to your transport, how much the goods cost or how much more money you get for selling them. The trader level makes you and your transport have a little more defence against the thiefs. It's your level that decides how much goods you can carry until it becomes a 2* trade.
Many people wonder too what the red flag does - I've heard it makes your transport more invisible to NPC thiefs, so they attack you when they spawn and not your transport (this is only a rumor).



Hunters:

Hunters kill thiefs and help traders. At lvl 20-25 I suggest you don't play as hunter only to kill thiefs, but instead only help traders to Donwhang/ Jangan. When lvl 20, don't be hunter to traders that are higher than you. When you see a lvl 25+ thief, don't kill them, just run as fast as you can. When your at level 26+, you can start hunting real player characters and kill them to get more exp.
When you reach level 2+ hunter, you get more defence against thiefs, and do a little more damage on them. The million hunter flag doesn't affect anything (as far as I know o_o)



Thiefs:

Thiefs are evil :]. Many people wonder where you go to bandit town, and the answer is this: You can get by using bandit den letters (takes 5 minutes to teleport) and by talking to a woman in barrom street




I'm not exactly sure about the location, but it's somewhere where the red dot is

Don't thief until level 30, or else all 40-50 hunters kill you immeaditly. I started thiefing level 30, and it was much easier than to thief in level 20. As a tip, I suggest you use camel, because it can take more hits and has more slots.
You can use your spawns to do some evil stuff, for example you go really close to a trader, so close so you touch him/ her (the trader has to be low level, and you have to be high level, like 30) and when your thiefs spawn, they attack the trader, who gets lots of problems. If a hunter doesn't appear, the horse/ camel dies and you can take the goods.
Another good thing to do as thief is, to buy a level 16 weapon (don't have any transport summoned) and use it. All low levels will think you're 20-23, and will try to kill you. Then you switch to your real weapon and kill them (I suggest you are 32+). When you are for example level 29 and have the level 29 weapon, and a hunter(level 24 or around) or someone asks your level, you can lie and say your level 24, because the hunter can't see your armor. He thinks you are same level as he, or lower, and tries to kill, but then you kill him instead.
When you level to level 2+ thief, you get for each thief level more defence against hunters, and do more damage on them.
I've been told that the 1 million thief suit hides you from the radar from hunters, but this is probably another rumor.

Some of the things can be totally wrong, or something can be missing, but I wrote most of the things by own experience.
(I'm finnish too, so there migh be lots of bad spellings )

Please say if theres anything I could add/ remove/ change.
